Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage is that the exchange capacity of ion exchange resin is limited, and new impurities and organic substances such as Na and Cl will be introduced into the electrolyte and pollute the electrolyte.
The disadvantages of the extraction method are strong extraction of As, weak extraction of antimony and bismuth, large loss of extraction agent, high cost, etc.
The precipitation effect of chemical precipitation method is not ideal, the amount of precipitant is large, and the treatment cost is high
These methods can only be used as auxiliary processes for copper electrolyte purification, and are difficult to apply in large-scale industries.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating copper, arsenic and nickel and purifying a copper electrolyte, The method comprises the steps of: firstly, controlling current density by sections, and removing copper through electrodeposition; after removing the copper through electrodeposition, and introducing sulfur dioxide in a solution to reduce pentavalent As into tervalent As; and evaporating and concentrating the reduced solution, cooling and crystallizing, and recycling arsenic trioxide and nickel sulfate, thus, copper, arsenic and nickel are separated from the copper electrolyte, and the copper electrolyte is purified. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple process, low cost, good purification effect and great reduction of black copper powder, and realizes the opening of the As in a process of purifying the copper electrolyte.

Description

[0001] Technical field: [0002] The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying copper electrolyte from copper, arsenic and nickel. Background technique: [0003] In the copper electrolytic refining process, the anode efficiency is higher than the cathode efficiency, Cu 2+ Concentrations continue to rise and copper must be removed. At the same time, impurities Ni, Fe, As, Sb, Bi, etc. in the anode copper dissolve into the electrolyte and accumulate continuously. In order to ensure the quality of cathode copper and maintain normal production, the copper electrolyte must be purified. [0004] The main methods for purifying copper electrolyte include electrowinning, ion exchange, solvent extraction, and chemical precipitation. The induced decopper and arsenic removal method is widely used in the industry. The technology of purifying copper electrolyte by this method is mature, and the effect of removing As, Sb and Bi is good. However, a large amount of bla...
